How much of this are we prepared to take?

Mmm..

Madge was 1 win for 5 losses and yes we will be too, but the 1 is the bye.

So that’s the line in the sand and on the paper, he had a worse side, definitely a dodgier forward pack, except of course we had Hastings who I rate as better than Brooks.

I forgot to add Hastings departure as a fail and the decision not to pay to get rid of Brooks and still have something extra in the kitty for a factory half.

I otherwise agree with your insights about the poor judgment, in particular, the panic decisions based on perception rather than fact.

You look at the dolphins, they get all their stuff together in a couple of years. We are years in front them as an established club and we can’t win a single game and now with injuries, aren’t looking much closer.
Not forgetting Jacko got suspended for 3 games from R2 game I think it was?

The club didn’t read the room in relation to Ciraldo.

We should have procured legally enforceable contracts in advance that he would have coached us if we let Madge go.

To sack Madge on the off-chance of jagging Ciraldo was exceptionally poor decision making and ended in utter public humiliation and with no coach or succession plan for 2023 and beyond.

This was basic business 101 and we failed it. We were fed spin and false hopes.

And here we are.

Just spoke to Ralph, he’s thrown the towel in for this season.

Followed the Balmain Tigers since the 1970’s, adopted WT.

He blames the board who “ don’t report to anyone”

What’s on agenda is more losses, followed by more lies and they think we won’t notice.

This is also supposed to be the assessment weekend for off contract players.

The time when players are given their warnings, maybe there will be some blood spilt to keep us fans happy.

Some deft and targeted leaking to the press.

The blame game. Select a few victims from the player group. Parade them as sons of Satan and the cause of all of our woes.

Nofo and Daine?

A nice distraction to shove in front of us, to hide mismanagement.

Same policy as appointing Tim and Benji.

The reasons for a breakdown in club/ player relations (and performances) are many and varied.

There are some who will argue that whoever Tim determines is to walk the plank could be playing a lot better under a different coach and with a new club. Simply because his judgment so far this season hasn’t been what it could.

That the evidence so far suggests he’s likely to select the wrong players for the wrong reasons.

But for a few, I think it’s more than likely most off contract players will not be renewed.
